What about you?Yeast of the Pharisees - Matthew 16:13Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand -Mark 8:27Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand -Luke 9:20

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea

Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do

people say the Son of Man is?” They replied,

“Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah;

and still others, Jeremiah or one of the

prophets.”

“But what about you?” he asked.

“Who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered,

“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of

heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be

bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on

earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then he

ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that

he was the Messiah.

From that time on Jesus began to explain to his

disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and

suffer many things at the hands of the elders,

the chief priests and the teachers of the

law, and that he must be killed and on the

third day be raised to life.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

“Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”

Jesus turned and said to Peter,

“Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

Matthew 16:13-23 (NIV)

Be Bold enough to stand AlonePeter answered, “God’s Messiah.” Luke 9:20

Convictions come from a belief that life is meant to be lived a certain way. Convictions are like an anchor on a stormy sea, a compass on an unfamiliar path, and a trusted friend to lean on.

Right is right even when everyone is against it.

Wrong is wrong even when everyone is for it.

Be Wise enough to know when to get help

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!” Matt 16:22

Then [Peter] went outside and wept bitterly. Luke 22:62

Be Wise enough to know when to get help

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” Jeremiah 17:9

Be Brave enough to ask for itAs soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him and jumped into the water. John 21:7

It's not what we do once in a while that

shapes our lives. It's what we do

consistently because it’s who we are.

Those who doggedly pursue a course of

action, who learn from their mistakes

and who try again and again will in the

end, go farther, do more and become all

they intended.
